A religious observance practiced in India, Bangladesh and Nepal practiced on the last full moon day of the lunar month of "Phalguni "in the Hindu calendar, which occurs around the beginning of Spring in March. It is also practiced by the Indian Hindu/Sikh/Jain diaspora in Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Burma, Maldives, Mauritus and in western countries like the US and Canada.

It is known as the festival of colors, since Indians celebrate the day by smearing colored powder on each other as a gesture of brotherhood and goodwill.

Christian extremists (like this guy "John Francois" with his misspellings and misgivings about Holi) from the Northeastern parts of India hate this festival because they are illiterate nuts who have been radicalized by racist missionaries from abroad.
"Holi hai" (Holi exists in Hindi) is a common phrase used by North Indians to signify the onset of Holi.

Holi-Drama 

Drama that only seems to happen on a holiday, or during a holiday season. The most popular time of year for Holi-Drama to occur, is in December.

True Holi-Drama queens aim to hurt someone/dump/upset someone they have been in some kind of relationship with, or cause a general 'Jerry Springer' inspired disturbance on one of the 'Meccas' of Holi-Drama days: Christmas, New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day.

The more serious, hurtful Holi-drama queens aim for birthdays though.
Person 1: So what time is dinner at?
Person 2: I don't know. I'm not going.
Person 1: Why!! But it's Christmas!! What's wrong?
Person 2: I just got dumped by Dale.
Person 1: What a Holi-Drama loving asshole.
Person 2: Burn his Christmas present. It'll make you feel better.
